All about the genuine Sabah Claim Society

We are Philippine patriots who have grouped together from around the world and who created the Sabah Claim Society group originally on Facebook on 15 July 2011 and counted close to 6,000 members.

But on 5 October 2011 our group on Facebook was traitorously hijacked by two people we had invited to join us as group admins but who, we learned later on, had been hired to sabotage our patriotic group by a group of sinister individuals sporting fake European sounding nobility titles and other spurious Tausug/Sulu titles ['bestowed' and indiscriminately distributed on Facebook] and organized by a combined team of charlatans namely a datu (sporting a fake sultan title) and the latter's handler who is conveniently sporting an absolutely fake 'princely' title as well.

Please be warned that the said group of individuals, we believe, are in fact con artists out to "claim" Sabah for "get rich quick" reasons and are not genuine Philippine patriots. Their motive, we have discovered, is to be able to convince Malaysians that they are genuine Sulu royalty and pro-Philippine Sabah claim supporters in order to extract from Malaysia (which has control of Sabah today) a premium for letting go of the Sabah claim.

On its face, even as President Aquino hailed the power
sharing deal with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the peace pact with the
MILF may turn out to be unconstitutional, as the power sharing annex not only
provides the Moro rebel group with 58 “exclusive powers” but also abolishes the
Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, even as the Constitution has not been
amended.
Aquino’s peace deal with the MILF also establishes a full parliamentary system
of government for the Bangsamoro government, where a Cabinet government is
formed, and with the Chief Minister, or prime minister in a parliamentary
system elected by the Islamic parliament, and where the chief minister then
selects his deputy minister and other members who are also members of the
parliament of his Cabinet government.
A no confidence vote can oust the chief minister by a two thirds vote, which is
also a feature of any parliamentary government. The country is under a
president system, not a parliamentary one. The peace pact appears to be no
different from the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD) entered
into between the Arroyo government and the MILF, which was already declared
unconstitutional by the high court.

The ministerial Bangsamoro government has been granted by
the Aquino peace panel at least 58 exclusive powers including the power over
ancestral domain and natural resources within its jurisdiction.
Among the exclusive powers granted to the MILF ate the Barter trade and
countertrade with Asean countries; the establishment of government-owned and
controlled corporations and financial institutions; its own Islamic banking and
financing system; power over ancestral domains and natural resources; land
management, land distribution, and agricultural land use reclassification; expropriation
and eminent domain; the customary justice system which includes the
establishment of the Shariah court system ; the National Commission on Muslim
Filipinos (NCMF) that shall jointly promote the development of the Islamic
banking system, to include among others the establishment of a Shari’ah
supervisory board; receive grants and donations; power over inland waterways
for navigation; inland waters; public works and highways within the Bangsamoro
under its powers and establishment or creation of other institutions, policies
and laws for the general welfare of the people in the Bangsamoro.
The power sharing annex had been considered highly contentious, with MILF
rebels seeking greater authority over a proposed autonomous region in the south
which will cover Muslim-dominated regions of this mainly-Catholic archipelago
of 100 million.
The accord, signed by negotiators from the government and MILF representatives
in Kuala Lumpur, is seen by the Palace and the
MILF as yet another step toward finally ending the bloody insurgency in the
southern Philippines.
A joint statement said both sides were now “confident” that they could soon
sign the last remaining annex on normalization and complete the comprehensive
peace agreement by January 2014.
The newly-signed power sharing annex had been one of four preliminary accords
that had to be completed before a final peace deal could be signed.

WHAT IS THE SABAH CLAIM SOCIETY?

The SABAH CLAIM SOCIETY blog serves as a repository of articles, documents, researches, and other publised material to help us all understand what the Philippine Sabah claim is all about and where it is at today. Our aim is to provide a 'pedagogical' platform, a learning tool that everyone is invited to use to discuss and learn about the standing Philippine Sabah claim.

For information, the SABAH CLAIM SOCIETY is NOT under the aegis of any Sultanate of Sulu group nor of any Facebook group linked to/headed by indviduals purporting to be sultan of Sulu, grand prince marshal, duke/duchess, count, viscount, marquis, baron, lord, lady, etc., etc. These European sounding nobility titles do not exist in the genuine Tausug or Sulu Sultanate culture and are therefore fake, a pure invention.

We are not a part of any government or non-governmental institution or agency whatsoever. We are just a group of genuine individual patriots who have come together from different parts of the globe to enforce and support the tenet that sovereignty rights of the Republic of the Philippines over Sabah must and should remain supreme.

WE GO BY THE DICTUM OF THE ILLUSTRIOUS SENATOR JOVITO SALONGA, FATHER OF THE PHILIPPINE SABAH CLAIM

"If, despite the assumed knowledge of the validity and justice of the Philippine claim, we fold our arms in mortal fear, we should lose not merely the respect of all law-abiding nations (the United Kingdom and the Asian countries in particular), but also a considerable measure of self-respect — which, to my mind, is more important — and, by our own inaction and timidity, lose our faith in the ultimate validity of that which is right and just. If, on the other hand, we come to the conclusion that the Philippine claim is without basis, then we should say so and let the British Government know our stand. Such candor and probity will undoubtedly inspire the respect of the entire free world."
